Assignment Overview

Each student will develop a three-year strategic plan for the case study presented.  Each plan will consist of the following parts:

1. organizational vision/mission;
2. analysis of the environment;
3. SWOT analysis;
4. strategic values;
5. organizational strategic goals and objectives;
6. brand strategies;
7. implementation and control strategies;
8. communication strategies;
9. and supporting documentation.

Strategic planning is a “systematic process of envisioning a desired future, and translating this vision into broadly defined goals or objectives and a sequence of steps to achieve them. In contrast to long-term planning (which begins with the current status and lays down a path to meet estimated future needs), strategic planning begins with the desired-end and works backward to the current status.”
